I get a few each month for most of my websites.  I delete.  After the second or third follow-up, they get the hint.

I did get one the other day. I thought it was odd to get a request like that to post on ActiveRain. 

It is very common to get requests to post on my WordPress sites.

Yes, but like others have said I just ignore and delete...

 

But I did receive a strange notification today on AR "A visitor to ActiveRain is now following you" Never had a Visitor from AR follow me before! LOL

Over the years, I have received them.  And then they seem to disappear, for a time only to return.  They have returned recently.   The AR twist is new.

Those request are usually for posting on my Wordpress site because they have such great information that my readers will appreciate. And it's usually repeat requests, too.

Yeah, and wanting to guess post on our websites where, if they bothered to look would see there are no blog posts. They are all related to the scammers that post in Q&A every day.

Ignore and move on! Not a big user of social media, so if you are a friend and want to make a request, call me first to confirm. They don't call it a "mobile phone" for nothing.
